\n earthquake\n <\/dt>\n
\n Ground shaking caused by the release of energy stored in rocks.\n <\/dd>\n
\n echo sounder\n <\/dt>\n
\n A device that uses sound waves to measure the depth of the seafloor.\n <\/dd>\n
\n ecosystem\n <\/dt>\n
\n All of the living things in a region and the physical and chemical factors that they need.\n <\/dd>\n
\n effusive eruption\n <\/dt>\n
\n A relatively gentle, non-explosive volcanic eruption.\n <\/dd>\n
\n El Ni\u00f1o\n <\/dt>\n
\n A natural climate variation in which the trade winds weaken or reverse directions, and warm water accumulates on the ocean surface off of South America.\n <\/dd>\n
\n elastic deformation\n <\/dt>\n
\n Strain that alters the shape of a rock but that is not permanent.\n <\/dd>\n
\n elastic rebound theory\n <\/dt>\n
\n How earthquakes are generated. Stresses cause strain to build up in rocks until they can no longer bend elastically and they break, causing an earthquake.\n <\/dd>\n
\n electromagnetic (EM) radiation\n <\/dt>\n
\n Energy transmitted through space as a wave.\n <\/dd>\n
\n electromagnetic spectrum\n <\/dt>\n
\n The full range of electromagnetic radiation.\n <\/dd>\n
\n electromagnetic waves\n <\/dt>\n
\n Waves with both electrical and magnetic properties; travel by radiation.\n <\/dd>\n

\n A pure chemical substance with one type of atom.\n <\/dd>\n
\n elevation\n <\/dt>\n
\n Height of a feature measured relative to sea level.\n <\/dd>\n
\n ellipse\n <\/dt>\n
\n A shape that looks like a slightly squashed circle.\n <\/dd>\n
\n elliptical galaxy\n <\/dt>\n
\n An oval or egg shaped galaxy with older stars and little gas and dust.\n <\/dd>\n
\n end moraine\n <\/dt>\n
\n Unsorted pile of glacial till that marks points where the glacier was stationary.\n <\/dd>\n
\n energy\n <\/dt>\n
\n The ability to do work or change matter.\n <\/dd>\n
\n energy efficiency\n <\/dt>\n
\n The amount of useful work that is done by a unit of energy.\n <\/dd>\n
\n epicenter\n <\/dt>\n

\n erosion\n <\/dt>\n
\n The transport of weathered materials and sediments by water, wind, ice, or gravity.\n <\/dd>\n
\n eruption\n <\/dt>\n
\n The release of lava, tephra, and gases from a volcano.\n <\/dd>\n
\n estuary\n <\/dt>\n
\n Where a stream meets a lake or, more usually, an ocean. The mixture of fresh and salt water attracts a large number of species and so estuaries have high biodiversity.\n <\/dd>\n
\n eukaryote\n <\/dt>\n
\n A cell with a separate nucleus to hold its DNA and RNA.\n <\/dd>\n
\n evaporation\n <\/dt>\n
\n The change in a substance from a liquid to a gas by the addition of energy.\n <\/dd>\n
